Valley City   (CSi)  New Life Center Coronavirus (COVID-19) Precautions, have been announced ongoing way to alter practices that help reduce the odds of the Coronavirus impacting our community.

First, due to the vulnerable health conditions of those we serve, we are limiting access to our building for visitors, non-essential staff, and volunteers. This includes large social gatherings, onsite meetings, events, and large volunteer groups. To ensure the health of those we serve, we will screen guests for symptoms or high-risk status as they come through our doors. Guests who exhibit symptoms will be isolated in a designated dormitory. Guests who are at high-risk (elderly or having other health complications not related to Covid-19) will be moved to a separate dorm area to distance them from our general population.

Their onsite Sanford Health nurse and operations director will work closely with all departments to ensure appropriate hand-washing and other prevention measures.

Throughout this process, they will stay in close contact with Fargo Cass Public Health. In addition, all high-touch surfaces in the building will be cleaned every hour. Hand sanitizer and gloves are readily available. Regarding our meal service, sack meals will be available in our front entry for community members.

Their kitchen will discontinue self-service items and begin using disposable dishware and utensils. Access to kitchen will be limited to those who are preparing and serving meals.  Financial support is very important at this time.

The above measures will impact their budget. Gifts will help us continue to serve a very vulnerable population.
